Subject: KROQ AM&FM ~ The Hollywood Nightshift
This is a good show, although not a typical Hollywood Nightshift show. There were usually 3 stars that hosted this show, which aired Sunday nights over KROQ/AM&FM (Pasadena, California), during 1977 & 1978. The missing man this night is Frazer Smith, (Stand-Up Comedian) who also had his own show on this station, during the week, playing free form Rock & Roll. The unique thing about this particular show, however, is that we hear more of Michael C. Gwynne (One time D.J. & actor) & Philip Austin (Of The Firesign Theatre). And, that aint bad. It was all improvised & off the cuff.
